It's basically the same motor. The difference is I can go to a dealership and buy a brand new S650, not so much with an S550.

I wonder how much effort, time, and $ goes into cracking the ECU encryption. I can't imagine that a cars ECU has some ridiculous level of encryption, but maybe they do.
2+ years and a team of engineers.
Wow. That is impressive that they cracked it knowing that.
Does this apply to mach1 also ?

HP Tuners has pulled off a miracle and saved the Ford aftermarket as we know it. By cracking the encryptions on Ford's latest generations of ECUs they have created a new rush of performance modding. To no one's surprise, the guys over at 5 Star Tuning in Florence, SC had a backlog of employee owned vehicles ready for calibration development. This stone stock 10R80 equipped S650 Mustang GT was one of the first to get their attention, and the results did not disappoint. Check out this vid:
As you can see, starting from a strong baseline of 433HP they were able to pick up 30HP on 93 Octane and 50HP on E85. Torque gains largely track with the horsepower gains. If I owned one of these cars added a custom tune would be high priority. Besides gaining power everywhere in the rev range, the driveablity of the car is greatly improved. That's doubly true on an automatic car like this one, where optimizing the shifts makes a huge difference in the driving experience. What do you guys think?

The crew over at 5 Star Tuning have found a ton of hidden power in the factory S650 ECU calibration. They have been cranking out new cals with HP Tuners for...youtu.be
